Osaka to Kyoto

A one and a half hour coach ride to Kyoto this morning. Inage found a novel way to teach us to say the numbers one to ten:-
1-Itchy 2-Knee 3-Sun 4-She 5-Go
6-Rock 7-Hitch 8-Hutch 9-Queue 10-Jule

Kyoto was the capital of Japan from 794 to 1868, therefore it is sometimes called the thousand year capital.

Lunch was a traditional Japanese lunch at Shozan Resort.Read more
